Diffusely adherent Escherichia coli strains isolated from children and adults constitute two different populations [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Diffusely adherent Escherichia coli (DAEC) have been considered a diarrheagenic category of E. coli for which several potential virulence factors have been described in the last few years.

The adherent/invasive escherichia coli (AIEC) strain LF82 invades and persists in human prostate cell lineRWPE-1 activating a strong inflammatory response [PDF]
, 2016 Adherent/invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have recently been receiving increased attention because they are more prevalent and persistent in the intestine of Crohn's disease (CD) patients than in healthy subjects.

Molecular structure of adhesin domains in Escherichia coli fimbriae
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2005 Crystal structures of FimH, PapG, GafD, and DraE fimbrial adhesin subunits or lectin domains have been resolved. These adhesins bind to different targets and are only distantly related in amino acid sequence. The overall structures of the fimbrial lectins, however, appear similar, suggesting that the fimbrial lectins have diverged from a common ...

Capsule shields the function of short bacterial adhesins [PDF]
, 2004 Bacterial surface structures such as capsules and adhesins are generally regarded as important virulence factors. Here we demonstrate that capsules block the function of the self-recognizing protein antigen 43 through physical shielding.

Molecular genetic analysis of Escherichia coli type I adhesins
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2006 Protein FimH is an adhesive terminal subunit of Escherichia coli type I pili. The content of FimH on the surface of a bacterial cell does not directly depend on FimH expression, but is limited by expression of other fim cluster genes encoding structural subunits and proteins responsible for assembly of pili.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. A global fecal metagenomic analysis identified Gemella morbillorum as a key contributor to the CRC‐associated microbiota. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that Gemella morbillorum is enriched in CRC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues.

Prevalence of Genes Encoding Outer Membrane Virulence Factors Among Fecal Escherichia coli Isolates [PDF]
International Journal of Basic Science in Medicine, 2017 Objective: Escherichia coli is commensal bacterium of human intestine. The gut is a common pool of E. coli isolates causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Some of fecal E.

Description of a novel adhesin of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [PDF]
, 2014 The binding and ingestion of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) by host cells are fibronectin (FN) dependent. In several species of mycobacteria, a specific family of proteins allows the attachment and internalization of these bacteria by ...
